[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Threads like this really reaffirm how awful and judgmental most of you are.  While I agree that it's a terrible think to drive under the influence, the reality is that you know NOTHING about the situation at all.  Maybe you should try having an actual conversation with the woman or getting to know her before deciding on a course of action.  There may be a reason why she still has a license.  Did you, for instance, that a small woman (100 lbs) can be legally over the limit after one drink?  Most of you probably don't think anything of driving after one drink.  Now she may have had 4 scotch on-the-rocks, but you don't know that--or do you?

I routinely see people splitting a bottle of wine at lunch and then going to pick up their kids. I doubt most of them are pulled over.  Ditto for the dads at happy hour.  If you're really concerned, drive your own kids and don't drink at all.[/quote]

Are you kidding? If she’s a small woman who is impaired after one drink, she should know that by now and NOT DRIVE — let alone drive a car pool woh OTHER PEOPLE’S KIDS!

My two cents - people splitting a bottle of wine at lunch also should not be driving. What is so hard about getting a cab, an Uber, or designating someone to drive and not drink? I’m the child of an alcoholic and know firsthand the devastation alcohol causes. I have zero patience for any of this. You people are presumably grown adults. If you can’t have lunch without drinking half a bottle of wine - when you know you have to drive - then yes, you have a problem.[/quote]
